The burners then begin to modulate based on demand. The fill valve opens and closes as needed to maintain the operating water level. 3. Steam created in the evaporating chamber flows through vapor hose or piping to the dispersion assembly, where it is discharged into the airstream. 4. The products of combustion are vented out the flue.

Guaranteed non-wetting distances developed guaranteed steam absorption (non-wetting) distances, accommodate any application. one or two rows of closely-spaced thermal- the airstream. Dry steam Adding humidification to an airstream without creating wetness in the duct system is critical for the maintenance of a healthy environment. Wet areas in ducts are a threat to the health of building occupants since they moisten dust on duct floors, creating ideal breeding grounds for disease-producing microbes. In addition, water accumulating in ducts can drip and cause building damage. Steam exits drip-free through tubelets All DRI-STEEM evaporative dispersion tube units discharge steam through thermal-resin tubelets fitted into dispersion tubes. These driest, through the tube wall, to the duct airstream. In essence, allowing steam to cross over lower-temperature metal without condensing or dripping. Each tubelet contains a calibrated orifice and are essential for drip-free steam dispersion. Condensate management Some condensation is inevitable in steam dispersion, but through careful design condensate can be managed. vaporizes dispersion-generated condensate. Rapid-sorb dispersion units manage velocities to ensure condensate is not pushed out into the air along with steam but drains out the opposite end of the header.

DRI-STEEM conserves resources by designing humidification systems that optimize performance. Systems that perform well save energy and water and, ultimately, cost less to operate and maintain. Save energy airstream heat gain and condensate production. Rapid-sorb steam dispersion panels. disperse unheated micro-fine water particles into airstreams or open spaces. As atomized water droplets evaporate, air temperature drops, reducing the cooling load. This provides significant energy savings when humidifying and cooling simultaneously. Save water and reduces airstream heat gain, energy costs, and boiler chemical use. Available for STS steam-to-steam humidifiers and all pressurized steam applications. Optimize performance DRI-STEEM s most advanced controller, Vapor-logic 4 continuously monitors space conditions to align humidifier output with demand. The result is accurate, responsive control.
